Some time later…
Night had quietly fallen. The world was asleep. But there was one soul still awake....Yu Sui.
His thoughts were a tangled storm, suffocating him under the weight of memory. Slowly, he summoned his flute, hoping to soothe the ache in his chest… but before a single note could leave it, a shadow passed by the window.
Yu Sui reacted instantly.....like a gust of wind, he vanished into the night. To see who it was
---
Some time later…
Back in Yu Sui's room, Wey Xiong sat silently. The one outside was none other than wey xiong who was now sitting right across from you sui near the table.
He bowed his head with deep reverence, his demeanor nothing like the playful figure he portrayed to the world. Everything about him now....his posture, his expression, even the way he breathed....belonged to a different man altogether.
With a deep, resonant voice, he said:
"Grandmaster, Master Lee Wen has sent you a talisman and a scroll."
He reached into his robes and gently placed a small black pouch on the table. As he opened it, the contents gleamed faintly.....a talisman, and a scroll.
Yu Sui picked up the scroll and read:
"Your Majesty,
We regret that we could not craft a talisman of great power. But we vow, this is the strongest talisman from the Hei Lin San Sect.
Wear it as a belt ornament to avoid suspicion.
We apologize for the previous ones breaking so easily.
We hope this one will truly aid you.
But forgive us, even if we want to, we cannot make a talisman as powerful and pure as su tao jue mantra. Our inheritance has gifted us with black magic. "
Yu Sui picked up the talisman. This time… it didn't break.
Unlike the many that had failed before.
For restraining Yu Sui's cursed soul was no trivial matter. His spirit thirsted for blood, always threatening to seize control, always struggling to escape. It took all of Yu Sui's willpower to prevent it from harming the innocent.
It was this struggle that had made him relinquish his spiritual beasts.....the twin phoenixes.....handing them over to Hei Lin San Sect.Because they will stay with him and strengthen his dark spirit powers, as is the nature of a spirit animal, no matter what power the spirit animal invokes.
Long time ago...
After that terrible war, when both Mo Yan and Yu Sui perished, even their crowns were split. Yu Sui's living crown was entrusted to the Longxin family, whose members had once stood beside the Grandmaster the day the ancient prophecy was made.Because Longxin was the only family that could create powerful black magic. They were the only ones who could hold this living crown, and Mo Yan's crown was held by a family from Linyan clan. But as the clans' greed grew bigger, eventually it was Mo Yan's position as the sole throne of the four sects that attracted everyone's cunning minds.
To this day, in the sacred halls of Hei Lin San Sect, their story is passed down....the epic love between Grandmaster Yu Sui and Grandmaster Mo Yan.For them, grandmaster Yu Sui had become an example that even if your soul is cursed, if your heart is as clean as water, as soft as a flower and as pure as a lotus, then no one can make it dirty.
And it is still believed that if anyone could restore the rightful balance of this world… it would be them.
Thus, for 200 years, the crown was guarded faithfully....waiting, hoping that one day its true master would be reborn.
And one day, that prophecy stirred to life.
When Yu Sui was born into this world… storms raged. Forests burned.
As though it wasn't a child.....but a cataclysm....that had taken birth.
But it was not his fault.
This was his destiny.
He could escape death… but never fate.
And the moment Yu Sui drew breath, his crown awakened once more.
Master Lee Wen, who knew that the Grandmaster's prophecy could never be wrong,After all he had sacrificed his soul, the prophecy had to be fulfilled. He picked up the crown and went searching everywhere for some clues about Master. He looked everywhere including linyan clan, fuzi xion clan, xuemo sect and meilan clan, and finally arrived at yanlog clan after feeling tired. The night grew darker It was very quiet as if every soul was roaming in the city of dreams and as soon as they reached near a house something happened finally the crown gave a signal.
The crown trembled in his hands.
As though it had already recognized its master.
It shivered violently.....like an earthquake cracking the very earth.
Suddenly, from within it, two black phoenixes erupted. They soared into the sky, roaring like thunderclouds torn apart after centuries of silence.
Mid-flight, they bowed to the earth....their home....then circled the infant Yu Sui seven times, in accordance with the sacred rites of spiritual beasts.That house belonged to none other than lady guso hun.
The thunderous commotion terrified Master Lee Wen's companions.
What if the villagers awoke?
What if someone saw the phoenixes?
Their breath caught in their throats, their hearts pounded like war drums. Hidden among the dense forest trees, they could only wait, silent and tense, praying the phoenixes would soon return.
And they did.
Once they had communed with their true master, they came back to rest.
Only then did the spirits settle, only then did their souls find peace.
Then, silently, the group slipped away.
But Master Lee Wen…
He turned one last time.
His eyes lingered on that house, again and again, as though a dying man were finally catching a glimpse of hope after centuries of wandering.
His wait was finally over.
A new hope was born.
He only turned away when the home disappeared into the mist.
From that moment on, he never stopped watching over Yu Sui, not even from afar.
The young Yu Sui had no understanding of his powers.
They overwhelmed him.
But quietly,every day gently, Master Lee Wen would leave a talisman hidden in his clothes, Which looked like a blue stone so that lady guso hun would not suspect it. Master lee wen whisper kind words, and disappear into the night.
When Yu Sui grew up a little
To protect Yu Sui from himself… and from the cursed power he carried,
Lee Wen entrusted the task to his own son, Wey Xiong, disguised as a mere disciple.
And Wey Xiong.....chosen as the only disciple of the great King.....took pride in this duty. And wey xiong successfully made friends with you sui.
Since then, the Hei Lin San Sect, along with Wey Xiong, has silently guarded Yu Sui.
Through talismans and seals, through shadows and storms.....
They held back the darkness… so he wouldn't face it alone.
